6. Uses of Soybean
Food for Humans - Soybean oil is used in cooking and frying foods.
Food for Animals - The high-protein fiber is toasted and prepared
into animal feed for poultry, pork, cattle, other farm animals and
pets.
Biodiesel — biodiesel fuel for diesel engines are produced from
soybean oil by a simple process called transesterification
Bio composites are building materials made from recycled
newspaper and soybeans
Candles made with soybean oil burn longer but with less smoke and
soot
Soy based foams are currently being developed for use in coolers,
refrigerators, automotive interiors and even footwear.

11. LAND PREPARATION
MANUAL LAND PREPARATION : Machetes &
hoes
MECHANIZED LAND PREPARATION : Use of
tractors and animal traction
MINIMUM/ZERO TILLAGE : Application of
glyphosate at rate of 3-5l/ha
Three Main Methods
12. Source of seed
Proper class of seed should be used for seed
production
The breeder seed should be used for
foundation seed and foundation seed should
be used for certified seed
13. Fertilizer
Application
Apply 20 kg N and 80 kg P2O5 and 40 kg
K2O and 40 kg of S as gypsum (220
kg/ha) /ha as basal dressing
Soil application of 25 kg ZnSO4/ha under
irrigated condition
Foliar spray of NAA 40 mg/l and Salicylic
acid 100 mg/l once at pre-flowering and
another at 15 days thereafter
Foliar spray of DAP 20 g/l or urea 20 g/l
once at flowering and another at 15 days
thereafter
14. Seed treatment
• Slurry treat with carbendazim @ 2g kg-1 of
seed along with carbaryl @ 200 mg kg-1 of
seed.
(or)
• Treat the seeds with Carbendezim or Thiram
@ 2g/kg of seed 24hrs before sowing or with
talc formulation of Trichoderma viride @ 4
g/kg seed (or) Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 10
g/kg seed. Biocontrol agents are compatible
with biofertilizers. First treat the seeds with
biocontrol agents and then with Rhizobium.
15. Seed rate
Seed rate of soybean depends upon germination
percentage, seed size and sowing time.
If seed is of 80 per cent germination, 70-80 kg seed per
hectare is required.
For late planting and for spring crop, seed rate should be
100-120 kg per hectare
16. Sowing & spacing
• Dibble or drill the seeds.
• The seed should be placed at a depth of 3/5 cm. The
shallower depths are recommended for heavy and/or
wet soils and deeper depth are chosen for dry/light soils.
• This should be followed by inoculation with rhizobium
culture. The seed plot is sown with a cleaned seed drill in
rows 45 cm apart.
• A gap of 1 m is kept after every 18-20 rows for inspection
of the plants.
17. Anthesis & flowering
Starts in morning around 6 am and
continues till 11 am
Maximum flower opening – 11am
to 5pm
18. Anthesis & flowering
• Soybean has perfect flower consisting of calyx, corolla,
pistil and stamens
• The corolla begins to emerge from the sepals
• There ate five petals one standard, two keel and two
wing petals
• The keel petals encloses the pistal and the stamen which
are 10 in number & diadelphous, nine are united to form
a tube around the ovary and the tenth is free
19. Anthesis & flowering
• The pistal has single ovary with generally 2 or 3
ovulues a long style and stigma
• The stigma is hairy and covered by the keel
• Fruit is a legume
26. Steps for
Emasculation
• Select the inflorescence containing young buds
for emasculation
• Remove immature buds
• Remove the corolla by grasping with a forceps
above the calyx scar and lifting them upward
• Remove all the diadelphous stamens with the
help of forceps or needle
28. Steps for
Pollination
• Pollination is done in the next morning
• Collect all the pollen from the male parent by
removing organs with the forceps when Anthers
are gently brushed on the stigma until the pollen
is clearly
• Bag the pollinated inflorescence
29. Hybrid seed
production
• An efficient method of
producing hybrid F 1 soybean seeds is provided.
• A male sterile female parent line having a male
sterile gene linked to a herbicide resistance gene
is crossed with another male
fertile soybean variety to produce hybrid
soybean seeds.
Cytoplasmic - genetic male sterility
31. Diseases
• Occurs on leaves of the soybean
Small angular spots
Appear yellow at first
Later turn to brown to black
Diseased leaves eventually die and fall
• Spots can spread from leaves to stem and
pods
• Can spread rapidly in a field
• Bacteria are seed borne
32. Harvesting
• Soybean seed is harvested using a combine to separate
the seed from the point
• The seed is hauled from the field in a truck or wagon
• The seed pods must be dry enough for the combine to
separate the seed from the pod
• If there has a heavy dew or
rains the pods may take
several hours to dry out
enough to harvet
35. Recent Work
• Karpo R2* : It is a new high-yielding RR2 soybean for
the early-mid soybean zone with 00.2 relative maturity.
Karpo R2* has excellent tolerance to white mould, and
is a tall plant with a great look.
• Lassa R2X : It is a new roundup ready 2 Xtend soybean
worth excellent yield, white mould rating and soybean
cyst nematode resistance. Lassa R2X is a 000.9 relative
maturity bean making it a great fit in the very early
soybean zones
